[cups.general] Page Width Option

[Tran, Vince T]

Kurt,

Sorry to bother you, but could you elaborate a little more?  Use lpadmin with -i option when creating print queue?  Thanks.

You can use your interface scripts from Solaris in CUPS too (or create
a new one that supports your -w option SystemV-style...).

See "man lpadmin". Install interface scripts with the "-i" option to
lpadmin when creating the print queue.
